Discipline (Skt. अनुशासन, Anushasana) is the practice of training oneself to follow a particular code of conduct or system.

On the path of knowledge, discipline is:

• Useful but not sufficient for liberation

• A support for the practice of listening, contemplation, and abiding

• One of the qualities of a seeker

The path of knowledge is not about rigid discipline but about understanding. Discipline supports inquiry but does not replace it.
